Me, too, so I only read the headline.
There's a whole bunch of topics I just "Nope!" out of.
It's obvious they are complex, and, frankly, my interest in them is not enough to invest the time to even get to a basic understanding.
So, my canned answer is:
"It's complex, and I don't feel I know enough to have an opinion about it"
If it's something interesting, I might add on "What do you think about it?"
If it's not interesting I might throw on "And I'm not interested enough in even having an opinion. Thank you and goodbye"
That last part goes well with telecallers 🤣
Unfortunately, many people insist that not having an opinion on something makes you a supporter of whatever side they’re against.
